Next one: Make crayon rubbings on paper over anything: coins, corrugated cardboard, anything engraved or embossed with a design. Paint over that with watercolors. I divided the space into blocks, but you can do it a variety of ways.

These are merely two techniques of many taught by Jane La Fazio in her Mixed Media with Paper and Cloth Classes. Ooooh, la La!

Now for the best (?) part: You tear these masterpieces up and make collage paper pieces out of them. If I ever can bring myself to do that, the results will appear here. (I have a phoenix-y sort of thing in mind...)
